Been looking for a newer truck for a little while now, old Bessy's got too many miles on her and it's time to put her to pasture.

Picked this one up for 6k.

99 F-250 XLT Super Duty
173000 km (107000 miles)
5.4 liter triton
Automatic
Air bag suspension in the rear.
Aftermarket Warn manual hubs

I think I'm pretty happy so far.

Anything I need to watch for or make better?

That Triton has been a great engine for me. One made it over 400,00 miles. It was still going strong but the running gear was going.

My 2000 has over 250,000 miles on it. Nothing major yet.

Pete what all have you had to do to keep em running? Just routine maintenance?

I try to change the oil at least every 8-10,000 miles. At the Pennzoil place? Not Jiffylube- the other one.


Edit: Valvoline Instant Oil.

I have a 2000 F150 with 180k and nothing major yet. Replaced shocks and some minor repair stuff. Great truck and my new one will be a ford as well.
